Kurt Vonnegut Jr., author of Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, and Cat's Cradle died Wednesday from complications related to a recent head injury he sustained in a fall. He was 84.
Vonnegut was a student, a soldier, a newspaper reporter, a Saab salesman, a funny pessimist, and an angry comic. His last book A Man Without a Country was published in 2005 and is filled with the kind of off-the-cuff shit that connects him more solidly to our world of a zillion counter cultures than anyone before, and certainly anyone after.
And so it goes.
